Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To secure equal rights and protections for LGBTQ Utahns and their families.

Our Vision

A fair and just Utah.

Our History

With a vision of a fair and just Utah, Unity Utah was founded in 2001 by a group of visionary members of the Utah lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. Unity Utah's initial goal was to increase the number of fair-minded elected officials holding office.

In an effort to better support its mission of securing equal rights and protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Utahns and their families Unity Utah became Equality Utah Political Action Committee in 2004. At the same time, two other organizations were formed: Equality Utah and Equality Utah Foundation.

Sharing a single mission and vision, these three organizations continue to work on behalf of Utah's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender & queer community.

Policy Initiatives

After historic wins in both marriage and statewide nondiscrimination, Utah’s LGBTQ community looks forward to a bright future. Though we have made significant gains in achieving legal equality, we still have work left to accomplish. Equality Utah continues to advocate for policies that provide legal parity for LGBTQ Utahns in all areas governed by civil law.
